Alright all, I have a question. And things like this used to work back home for getting advice. So maybe it will work here too.

So there's this whole thing where I've got this romantic history with the sweetest, kindest, most patient and wonderful young woman ever. She might be perfect. Like, as perfect as a woman could ever be. And I don't wanna put expectations on that. But she really is all of those things.

And then I was gone for a while and there was this whole thing where I spent a long time caring about and for this guy. He's so wonderful. Sunny and inspiring, even if he won't see it in himself. Maybe I sorta started realizing I care for him too. Which is really awkward because I really do love said perfect woman. But I think that maybe if I didn't know her I'd probably have figured out that he's amazing a lot sooner?

Then there's me. I've failed the guy and the gal in the past. Sorta let them down and left them alone. Not intentionally mind you. Anyway, they grew kinda close while I was gone. And now I'm not sure if I'm in the way of them. Or if I'm in the way of me.

I'm just making my own life complicated thinking about this, aren't I?

Who; Yusuke and anyone! Open to all!
What; A Network Story and a Log for the event!
Where; The Cafe and around the city if he gets asked to help out with a smol nuisance
When; Through August
Warnings; If anything happens I will add it!
Note; So I'm thinking this could provide some options. The network could be a fun chat story time, the log for after-story experience, or we could mix it up and people could reach out to Yusuke via the network if your being harassed by one and want him to provide advice or to help clean up the mess! Of course, you can also do your own stuff with Seto Taisho if you prefer. Also if you want something personal written up, I’m happy to do so! My plotting post is over here


Have you heard of Seto Taisho? - Network - OTA )

It would seem that fiction continues to be less than that in this world - Log - OTA )

Advice?

[ It was an odd day.

One Lord El-Melloi II had never addressed the network properly before. In fact, he only tended to even respond to people on it if it seemed necessary or the subject sparked his interest. He wasn’t a social creature, after all. So it’s quite strange for there to be a series of broadcasts, all showcasing particular moments in his life that he certainly would not have been open to sharing. Although some might have been... a bit confusing, considering they seemed to focus on a young man named 'Waver Velvet.' If it weren't coming from his phone, some might not have made the connection.

Needless to say, once he realized what had happened? He was going to have the fun of explaining that… Either on the network, or (if anyone is bold enough to show up on his doorstep) in person should they find him hiding in his workshop in the harbor district.

[ The video feed initially just shows the entrance to the cemetery at dusk. There's some fluid movement as the camera moves past Grave Concoctions, the local alchemist, and then forward a few steps towards a small strip of somewhat rundown buildings. The camera stops in front of one of the buildings on the far left side and then just zooms up and down on it. There are lights on inside the building and it clearly looks like someone's been inside and cleaned it up. Overall it's small and the outside is in need of a bit of help.

Ivy turns the camera to face her. She's got a thick white scarf wrapped around her neck and a large silver cross can be seen dangling down. ]


I've fixed the inside into what I want for the most part. [ She's to the point, it's common for her when she's got a specific goal in mind. ]

But I need some help for a few other things. I need the outside fixed up, there's some loose brick, and it needs some paint. Inside I need six barstools in black. I don't care about the material, but they have to be black. There were booths in there already, but I want them painted red. [ She's very specific. ] The kitchen is basically just the woodfire oven but that's enough, I don't need much more fixed with that. I've gotten the décor down.

[ Wait she's forgetting something. ] It's going to be a pizzeria. [ Probably should explain that right? ] I also need help with a name. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

[ A pause ] I can pay anyone that's willing to help clean up the outside and do the few other things I mentioned. I might also need some help running the place. I don't need a resume, just proof you're competent.

[ And she just ends things there. Ivy has A+ asking people for help skills. ]

[ If Ivy sounds a tiny bit tired, that's because she is. For a number of reasons that she's really inclined to just not think about. Luckily it seems like the place is getting weird again and that means there's a distraction that she can turn her full focus to. ]

I think there's something we all need to talk about regarding this place. [ Well, there's probably a lot of somethings. ] Has anyone overheard what the locals are talking about now? Evidently Aterat was known for it's Magic Academy. News to me. [ Her tone is dry. It shouldn't be news to her, she's got entire files on the information she's collected about this place. ] Nothing I've compiled from locals previously has ever mentioned that, until now.

But that's not abnormal is it? Seems like every time something new shows up here they act like it's always been here. One man I spoke to was actually annoyed that I wasn't concerned about it. Evidently, if I was really interested in helping Aterat I should be concerned about what's happened there. Not that I'd given any indication I was interested in helping. I guess he took my curiosity on the subject to mean I wanted to help figure out what's going on.

[ She pauses for a second. ] I would like to know what's going on though. Why does this keep happening and what does it mean when it happens? Are we going to see an Academy appear soon? [ And if so, what sort of trouble would that inevitably bring? ] How many instances of this can we list at this point? [ The sound of paper can be heard shuffling around quickly. ] There was the Lighthouse... the chocolatier and noble district...and [ she seems reluctant to actually speak about this one for some reason ] the recent carnival. They always seem to act like they've always known about these places. Maybe it's time we try to figure out why that is.

I want to say sorry...in case someone saw something with me in it they might not have wanted to. 

I don't....I don't have a lot of good memories...or non violent ones. 

So...sorry....by a lot.

[ Ivy sounds a bit tired and slightly off for anyone that knows her. She lets out a sign before she starts speaking. ]

I'm sure most of us remember the incident with the plants from sometime ago. Watts and I have been investigating some clues we found. Honestly, I expected us to get nothing but I suppose we got, well, something. [ She's not really sure what precisely they got, but it's probably worth telling people. ]

There's a settlement deep within the forest, on the far side of the pyramid that the portal is on. The scent of magic there is strong, alien, like the city. I think it comes from the portal itself. [ she's not sure if that's important, but might as well mention it. ]

Further past it though, there are totems. 12 of them. The people that made them took a great deal of time to carve each one and enchant them with Earth magic. It's a scent I'm very familiar with. [ There's a hint of sadness that touches that statement before she quickly moves on. ]

Past that we found vines that had pods that looked a lot like the ones that we had in the City. So, I guess we can say we know where they came from now. It took us time and some scratche but we eventually made it to a pathway that has consistent use. Unfortunately, that's about as far as we could really make it. The path doubles back on itself, I'm assuming it's some kind of enchantment the people have made it.

On our third attempt we found a note that said:

“Condolences. Enemy not. Beforecity call wrath of Balefire. Nowcity follow path. Softskin wizard know."

Maybe it'll mean something to someone else. That's all we found, but at least it gives us some information about who did it.

[Llewellyn looks quite serious when the feed opens. It’s an expression he has worn a little less often of late, but there were things going on now that were getting more and more concerning. The gullwings had just finished their investigation on the matter, but this was not something they could resolve themselves. The city was going to need a different sort of help than they could offer, and the average person needed to be warned.]

Hello everyone. I’m sorry to be addressing the network under such mm… unfortunate circumstances… But the Gullwings have been investigating a situation around the city for the last few days and we feel it’s important to share what we learned with everyone. Especially as we’ve found something that uh- is going to need some specialized attention in order to resolve this, hopefully before it gets worse.

[And worse is what the three gullwings were hoping to avoid…]

I’m sure by now everyone has noticed the strange plant life that’s planted through our city, and I say planted rather than spread because we’ve found evidence- tools and the like, that prove someone brought them here intentionally. [Plucking a bright green feather from the desk in front of him, he twirled it lightly in his fingers to show it off.] We found this at one of the scenes. It’s from a bird native to the southern forest, and it’s been altered to be a decorative accessory.

In trying to work out where they started from, we retraced the pattern of their planting back to the cemetery. The spread of mold and mildew seems to have gone unchecked there, quite unpleasant… But! At its heart, we discovered an alcove which lead to a portal we definitely were not made aware of before now. It leads outside, and it seems logical that it’s where the culprit has been entering from to work on their task. There are tracks leading in and out, [He shifted the phone function to display a picture they had taken of the footprints of clawed feet that went in and out. Flipping back a moment later, he continued.]

It… gets more worrying from here. [As if this wasn’t all concerning enough.] The plant pods seem to change as they grow. At first they only got a little larger, but they… track you. I know that sounds odd, but they seemed to follow our movements as though they were drawn to us as we passed them. It’s easy enough to stay out of their reach at first, but it’s unsettling. The problem is… They get bigger, like uh- a medium-sized dog big? Larger than Pretzel is now, anyway.

And the bigger they are, the greater their reach. We managed to get through, but….

[Criminy, he can’t believe he’s going to describe this next bit.]

There’s like… Ah… How do I put this? Um… A giant one? Very large. Huge, even… So much so that I’d hazard a guess that a few people could fit inside. We didn’t stay long, because it wasn’t safe and we’re not exactly equipped to deal with something of that nature. It seemed pertinent to get that information to everyone, to warn people away from the plants and to provide knowledge to those who might have more luck in dealing with them.

Mmm... interesting. [ Despite her words Ivy doesn't look too interested as she taps the upgraded screen on the phone. Which means tapping the video. She brushes a strand of her hair out of her face and then starts to thread her fingers through the chain of the cross necklace she always wears. ] Hopefully everyone had more luck with those...things than I did. Has anyone figured out what they really were? They tasted like sawdust and mold. I never needed to know what mold tasted like. [ Her eyes widen for a moment and she blinks. Why did she just say that? When she tries to speak to say she didn't mean that how it sounded she finds she can't and instead just starts threading her fingers through the chain more awkwardly. ]

Something else is going on. [ She scrunches her nose up. ] Pollen. You'd think a vampire wouldn't be bothered by pollen.
